Game design / Re: Swearing in adventures.
« on: September 18, 2009, 05:08:36 AM »
when ever you want to use it. It is all about what you wish to do with the game and who you expect will pay it. Adding sex, or ultra-violence or swearing will limit your audience.. but it can also give you a much more loyal audience.. there is a lot of gamers who are adults looking for more adult themed games. I do not think there is any rules about it... if it fits the character to swear and fits the tone of the game i say do it... never hurt Scorsazy films.

General Discussion / Re: Most ridiculous inventory puzzles EVER!!!!
« on: September 16, 2009, 09:28:09 AM »
I agree with Tol.... adventure game ARE inventory puzzles... puzzle box puzzles are good as well but can not support an entire game unless the game itself is just a massive puzzle box (like myst). Still I think perfectpixel's point is not inventory puzzles are bad.. just crazy "wtf" logic of some of them are just stupid... personally i hate the "pick up everything in site" aspect of many adventures.. There should be a logic reason to pick up an item... not just grab everything in site and try to use it on every hot spot you see. IMO This is the crux of good adventure game design... making strange illogical item puzzle chains like that stupid cat thing in the first post... is not the game device of item puzzles that sucks.. it is teh game design itself.

.... use edit mesh.. it makes a difference... always export from edit mesh. Check your scales (in max) like one model might be a lot bigger than the other in real word units so the same light position in the actor file will result in a screw up...
Did you infact try moving the light miles away.. just to see if it fixed it?

Technical forum / Re: "faking" 3d scenes with an actor?
« on: August 05, 2009, 12:33:01 AM »The two problems that I can think are-
1. Collisions. Can you rotate a .3ds Geometry File in real-time?
2. Lights. Can lights be moved in realtime, or are they "baked"?
1. No (unless it is an actor file)
2. No

shadows are ONLY done form the light position in the actor3d file nothing else effects it....
If you move it and still getting that error try moving it heaps .. you may have no just moved it enough?

Game announcements / Re: Tail End Charlie" Adventure Game
« on: July 29, 2009, 09:55:16 PM »
Cool.. I like this a lot... sounds are great and the real-photo look works.. as do the sorta "stop-motion" movements on some of the live actors. All in all cool!! Still took me about 2 seconds to get totally lost.. what this game really lacks is feedback form the cursor... clicking on stuff seams to do nothing... "look at" descriptions would really aid the exploring feel to this game.
